Patrick O'Connell brings NFL-caliber pass-rush juice and Montana-made toughness
Patrick O'Connell has turned his Montana profile into a real NFL opportunity, earning a notable role with Seattle after going undrafted and showing special value as a high-motor linebacker who can create pressure from the edge and survive in space. In college, he stood out for production as a stand-up LB with 6.5 sacks in a season for the Grizzlies, and his transition to the pros suggests a fit for teams that value effort, versatility, and disruptive instincts over pure size. He looks like a strong match for a defense that wants relentless chase and situational pressure.
